Micromax A89 is another Ninja model powered by dual core processor clocked at 1GHz with a 4 inch touch screen display running Android 4.0 OS. The A89 model has just been added on the Micromax info website with limited details.

We are going to see a lot more dual core handsets in coming days, and most of the time the handsets are, silently launched. The A89 details are now updated on the Micromax Info website (click here). We do not know the availability date and the price.

The MMX A89 is with a 10.1 cm screen (4 inches) with multi touch support. I think it will come with an 800×480 pixels resolution. The handset has got a curvy design with 3 touch sensitive buttons on the front.

The A89 sails on a 1GHz dual core processor, now probably it could be MediaTek or qualcomm processor, so far Micromax have been using the MediaTek dual core processors. The specs are of lower end – the handset comes with 3MP fixed focus camera. I believe the RAM will be 512MB and internal storage may be 4GB or less.

As for connectivity it should support dual SIM, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, micro USB port and 3.5m jack. Battery info is not available but I guess will be around 1500 mAh. Stay tuned for more updates on the Micromax A89.

For me Its a supreb android phone……..People having issue with internal memory, low ram, or large hd gamds, yes you can play large hd games over 2.5gb , i have played, you just have to increase ram, increase internal memory, and install chainfire 3d pro and its plugin, go to the http://www.andropark.com website there you will find these technology on related query or search in google. Even you also can flash with stock rom for better experience, change the theme and lots more. Those process require rooted device and u should have installed your own cwm recovery . I have tried the otg is not supported.the main problem is battery backup and wi-fi. but 6299rs is not bad deal . But you cant expect too much.cause its a low cost android phone, but you can make it better, if you have lots of technical knowledge about android…you can make it faster, better also the perfect.one.

Sir
Hi,
I am confused in selection between MMX A89, Xolo A700 & this Lava Iris 454. The specs look pretty much similar. I read some reviews that Mmx & Xolo A700 has low battery backup & phone heat up during calling, surfing & gaming etc {all mentioned in user reviews at you site}. Are there any other issues to look for?
Based on above things which one should I go for.
Please give your expert advice.

Dear Gogi sir
please give information about the heating problems & battery back up of mmxa89 & xolo a700. I have gone through the review of both phones at you site & much impressed the way you elaborated the things. The aforementioned problems are much discussed in user reviews of both sets. Please help us by your expert advice.

There are users who are complaining am not sure if its an issues with every handset. But heat-up depends on your usage / connectivity and environment. Example if you are in the open directly under the sun, try taking some photos and within few minutes you will feel the handset heating up much faster. Try the same in a room and no such issue. I have seen this issue with many handsets even big brands. The new phones now come with a sponge type stuff in the back cover that helps absorbs heat and reduces heat buildup.

Hi Wi-fi is good on both almost same. Note that the Wi-Fi module is the same on these handsets so performance will be the same. Wi-Fi performance also depends on how the OS has been tweaked. But over all I did not find any issue with the Wi-Fi. I use the Wi-Fi for downloading benchmark apps on every handset.

Bought a Micromax A89 Ninja on the holy occasion of Saraswati Pooja…!!
I have also bought a OTG cable for data transfer via USB drive but I do not Know how to configure this on A89..!!
Help required…!!

Sonu, I am not sure if OTG will work on the phone, it is software controlled if enabled it will work, just connect the OTG cable and on the other end the USB drive and go to file manager and see if you can see the external drive. Try using lower capacity pen drive like 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32GB see if that works cause there is a limit to the drive space that can be accessed.

Sonu, the A9+ is with Qualcomm Snapdragon Scorpion processor, I think it cannot play 720p videos but it has 5MP Auto focus camera which is a slight advantage as compared to A89, so depending on your need if you want to go with the camera and miss out 720p videos playback.

Thanks A lot Gogi Bro…!!

Friends don’t go for mmx a89 i have used it for a month now its a china company its touch sensitivity has decreased many other problems instead my karbonn a15 though has low configuration but has long life than a89 and is tuff.

I am really happy with the phone MMX a89… it has a better benchmark results than a68 smarty… it scored 2700 in quadrant standard …. 6873 on antutu benchmark… and on nenamark it showed 27.4 fps…. it runs temple run 2 very smoothly without any lags… i think this is a good phone to buy at this price tag….

also gogi brother post an artical about huawei u5510, i have used it and it is the best mobile @3000, its best in performance, battery backup of 2days, ram 512mb, very fast internet even fast then nokia,wifi works good, not hang at all, camera poor, 3g, support video calling, java apps work, finehttp://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_u5510-4552.php

Hi gogi, i want to know that except camera are all things ok i am thinking about screen touch quality? is is smooth like well known brands and also viewing angles? are the good enough and bro in reviews u should also show the downloading speed and youtube playback.

Hi. Can anybody tell me if this phone has 3.9 of 4 inch display. Because i am confused as in flipkart its 3.8inch, Infibeam 3.9inch, Here 4inch…Is this better than MMX A68 in perfomance or not? According to me this may be good in processing as it is dual core…But i want to be sure…

The phone is really good.. Touch is very smooth, screen display looks sharp and very clear (I think becoz of WVGA? not sure). Phone response is quick. I like the look & feel, it has 3 touch buttons at the bottom of screen and it looks like samsung 🙂

Camera quality is what you have to compromise (3 MP without front cam and without flash). Looking at the price, I think its worth to BUY.

Is it really able to play 720p MP4 videos and HD games well as it is said in their website…??
and make me sure that it has secondary camera or not…??
Regarding the specs provided this phone is very similar to Karbonn A15.
So help me decide…!!

And becoming the global king, kudos Micromax, our best wishes are always there with you since we have trusted the brand when it was not really a brand we feel good when the it is growing, one expectation is to maintain the quality and service standards and within the budget.

Ok. Lets suppose spice can not play 1080p video, then what about other features: 8MP Camera, Color etc??? Micromax is acting like Samsung by giving only 3MP Camera. If Micromax will price it around 5k, then ok, otherwise total waste in front of Spice Mi-435, Celkon A200 and Videocon A30.

Only question is will ICS survive on 512MB of RAM even with a Dual Core Processor? Will games like NFS, Blood & Glory, FL Commando run properly. Waiting for your review. Planning to get it for wife as her first ever Android.

Gogi before this many models of ninja have been launched each was priced below 6k so do you think it will follow the same legacy and if that’s the case it will be the cheapest dual core phone in the market

Hi..You are right bro. Actually i tried my best to find the MMX A68 model online and offline but all in vein. Some dealers told me the company has stopped manufacturing this model. So i am going for this one(As my secondary phone). And also it is available online for 6200Rs. Flipkart, infibeam etc.. And also it supports 3G, 720p video playback, 2.07GB storage…

Thanks, Gogi for the update. I think it will be released to compete with low-cost dual-core phones, we have seen, like Xolo A500, Videocon A30, Celkon A200, and Spice Stellar Nhance. I think it’s a good move by Micromax.

Micromax has adopted the same market strategy as Samsung: mobile for every taste and kind of peoples. Currently MMX has more variants than i guess Karbonn & Spice or any other manufacturer combined and the thing is they are not going to stop anytime soon.

Looking at the spec, it can turn out to be cheapest dualcore mobile (my safe bet is a pricetag of below 7k).
